Rosedale is bordered to the north by Cambria Heights, the east by Valley Stream (part of Nassau County), the west by Laurelton and Brookville Park, and to the south by John F. Kennedy International Airport. It is at the eastern edge of New York City, its border with Valley Stream forming part of the boundary between Queens and Nassau County.

In 1976, Bill Moyers presented a documentary titled Rosedale: The Way It Is.
